SPECIFICATION forming pa'rt of Letters Patent N o. 382,737. datedMay 15, 1888.1

Application inea March 12,1888. semina 266,951., (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: f

Be it known that I, WILLIAM E. SEFTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rolling Golters; and I do hereby declare that the following isa full, clear,

and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making I a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation showing vcolter attached to a plow-beam. Fig. 2 is a de- Fig. 3 is a detached view of the disk-bar. Fig. 4 'is a detached view of the disk-connecting arm. Fig. 5 is a detached view of the colterarms, showing the colter removed.

v '2O The present invention has relation to rolling colters; and its nature consists in the'different parts and combination of parts hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims. v

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings. v

' In the accompanying drawings, A represents the frame or head,which may be substantially of the form shown in the drawings, and

is securely attached to the beam of a plow by means of the clamping-bolts a and the cap or plate b. The frame A is provided with the parallel arms c c, which are located substan- 3 5' tially 'as shown, andare for the purpose hereinafter described.

To the bottom or under side of the frame Ais securely attached the disk-bar B by means of the clamping-bolts d d, and is so ar- 40 ranged that said disk-bar, together with the' different parts attached thereto, can be adj usted laterally to any point desired within the limits of the parallel arms c c, thereby adj usting the colter proper to eithera right `or left hand plow. The disk Gis located and adjusted substantially `as shown in Fig. 1. The connectingarm D is provided with the disk E, said disks being securely held together by means of the clampingbolt d. The

meeting faces of the disks() and Eare corrugated or serrated, thus securely holding the colter-arms F and the colter G at -any desired point of adjustment.

It will'loe seen that by providing the serrated disks the colter proper can be adjusted to any desired point below the plow-beam.

It will be understood that the Yclampingbolt d is to be loosened when 'it is desired to change theadjustment. v f

To the connecting-arm D are attached the colter-arms F by means of the socket or eye H, said parts being arranged substantially as shown in Fig. 1, and are held in position by means of keyI or its equivalent. On opposite sides of the socket or eye H are located the grooves or recesses e, which fit the feathers f, and are for the purpose of limiting the lateral movement Or motion-of the colterarms F and the colter-wheel G.

It will be seen that by means of the corrugated or serrated disksl C and E and the vclamping-bolt d the colterlwheel G can be adjusted either up or down, asvdesired, and at the lsame time 4can be held perfectly rigid at any point desired.. y

It will also be seen that by means of lthe' parallel arms c c, provided with the grooves cc, the colter-wheel G, together with the arms F, can be adjusted either to the right or left when the.connectingarm.D stands at any angle without causing the colter-wheel G to assume an inclined position; or, in other words, the colter G will always be in a perpendicular position without reference to the lateral adjustment of said colter-wheel G.

The frame A is provided with the ribs g, which are for the purpose of receiving the edges of a steel beam, as indicatedby dottedI lines, Fig. 2, and at the same time, providing' a bearingsurface for a wood beam. Having fully described my invention, wha
